And I'm a little relieved to see the reaction to today's weak climate agreement is mostly, so far that I've seen (CP, Sierra, LCV), on the positive side.  Eh, it's an agreement.  It seems so hard to get anything done. Something is happening, however slowly.  It's hard to celebrate, though.  OK, we're still really screwed without more, really big steps.

 This is an astounding statement from the 92-year-old Bobby Byrd. I think he's channeling Teddy. 

My hat's off to him.
